Summary

This study tests a home-based balance training program for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The program combines stepping games, strength, and thinking tasks. Researchers will compare it to a simple stretching routine in 75 adults with MS to see if it improves physical function, thinking, and daily activities.

Active substance

Functional Balance Intervention (FBI) - a home-based multicomponent balance training program

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a simple, home-based exercise program to help people with MS improve their balance, walking, thinking, and daily life.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase feasibility study (75 people). The program may not show clear benefits, and results may not apply to everyone with MS. There is a risk of minor muscle soreness or dizziness.
